Chapter 219: The Altar at the Bottom of the Tree

"No, I can't. "I didn't expect Zhang Hu to directly reject my proposal to divide the troops. "Brother," he looked at me playfully, "you can't be too selfish, everyone is equal in the face of the opportunity to get rich." ”

In my heart, I say that this money-eyed lord lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thinking that we are going to steal state property (in a sense, this statement is not wrong). However, seeing the results of the first team, I estimated that there was a high probability that there would be a lot of trouble in that ruin, and since Zhang Hu was rushing to be cannon fodder, it would not be too much for me to use him to step on the thunder.

Another militiaman and Zhang Hu wore a pair of pants, so naturally they had to follow suit. It was a little embarrassing to leave Wang Pearl alone, in this deep mountain and old forest, even if she called for help, it would take at least a day to get her out, and until now she was still convinced of the little old man who was pretending to be a ghost in the imperial capital, and decided that if it wasn't for the three of us to join temporarily, she might also be in danger, so she decided to follow us.

This time, Wang Pearl lost a lot, and she also had a little Jiujiu in her heart, hoping to use that relic to get some money back, at least she had to give an explanation to the family of the deceased.

I saw that they didn't take the relics of the first team seriously at all, and I was a little helpless. The lessons of the past and the teachers of the future are still not as good as people dying for money and birds dying for food. I didn't bother to persuade me, so I followed if I wanted to die, and I turned back after installing the south wall, but I might have my head broken and bleeding by then.

There has been no rain in the mountains in the past two days, and the trajectory of the first team has not been buried by nature, which has made it a lot more convenient for us. The next evening, we found the place where they had camped before, and it didn't take long to find the hollow where Zhou Dabin had fallen.

Zhang Hu proposed to go down directly, the young man is energetic, and he will not be tired after a day of trekking in the jungle. Wang Pearl doesn't do it, after all, she doesn't have the physical strength of our young people, and she needs to rest. I thought about it, and the longer this matter dragged on, the more accidents would happen, and the key was that the three of us trialists had enough physical strength, so I agreed with what Zhang Hu said.

We took out the climbing rope and tied one end firmly to a nearby tree. Zhang Hu was very active, he took the lead with the wolf's eye flashlight in his mouth, and was the first to slide in. The hole was not deep, and in a few moments he was at the bottom of the hole.

It was obviously not a matter of letting Wang Pearl wait outside, but it would not be difficult to get her into the hole with our help. By the time I landed last, Zhang Hu had already turned around the neighborhood with a disappointed expression.

Instead of feeling the heat and humidity in the woods outside, the bottom of the cave gave me a chilly feeling. I looked around, and because it was covered by plant roots, it looked cramped and cramped, and I couldn't tell the size of the original space. The cave is not full of treasures as Zhang Hu imagined, only a broken stone altar. I walked up to me, and there was still a little dry red left in the groove on the altar, but it must have been cinnabar dyed, and if it was the blood of the previous sacrifice, it would not have dried in this environment.

"That's it?" Zhang Hu sat on the altar with his butt, twisted the kettle and poured it. "I think there's something else behind the roots. I counted the size of the stone chambers, "but unfortunately we can't and don't need to tear them down." ”

"Brother Tiger, there's a passage behind this root!" another militiaman poked his head out from behind a thick tree root behind us, "like a staircase going down." "Let me be well!" Zhang Hu's interest came again, he jumped up from the altar and rushed to the other militiaman, "Really!" He didn't care about us, and his figure disappeared directly behind the roots.

"In these years, there are still people who are actively serving as cannon fodder. I laughed and motioned for the rest of the people in front of the altar to follow. A downward stone staircase was hidden behind the tree root, and the surrounding cobwebs and plant residues were pulled aside, I don't know if it was Zhang Hu and the two of them who did it or Zhou Dabin did it before.

This stone staircase is very neatly repaired, even if no one has taken care of it for so many years, you can see the intentions of the craftsmen from the neat corners. After a short walk down the stone stairs, I felt a wet wind coming from the pavement, and the sound of water echoing around me, and it seemed that there should be water veins underneath.

There is a lot of space at the end of the stone steps, enough to play half a game of basketball. It's like a ferry, with a stone pier neatly built next to an underground river, but it has almost collapsed under the wash of the river over the years. I looked at the top of my head with a wolf's eye, and although it was already very deep underground, there were still many trees that stubbornly stuck to their roots and sucked the moisture of the underground river.

"That's how the people of the Ancient Dian Kingdom travel?" Ke Hui asked, "But the river is a little turbulent, right?" "It's been a long time, and they couldn't figure out how much water was still open." I asked. In recent years, human civilization has developed rapidly, the temperature has risen overall, and the snowmelt in the mountains has accelerated, and it is estimated that this underground space will be completely filled with water in a few years.

On the other side, Zhang Hu and another militiaman were rummaging through a pile of boxes on the edge of the dock, presumably the goods left on the shore back then, but now they are almost rotten. "Damn, nothing!" Zhang Hu said angrily, "Is it all hidden by Zhou Dabin's grandson!"

"Save it, the water here is so big, it's hard to be flooded, and there is nothing good left." "I was distracted and thinking about what to do next. This waterway is likely to lead directly to the Worm Valley, but the water temperature is cold, and I don't know what the water conditions are downstream, so it is a joke to rush into the water.

"Damn," Zhang Hu was annoyed and angry, suddenly rushed over and grabbed my collar, and said angrily, "Didn't you say that there is a lot of wealth here?" "When did I say this?" I couldn't help laughing. "Then what are you doing so actively all the way?" Zhang Hu said viciously, "It's not profitable, you can't afford to be early, what about you playing with me?"

"You care about me. I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so I shook his hand away, but it was too strong, Zhang Hu didn't hold the flashlight in his right hand, and threw it directly into the underground riverbed.

The wolf's eye flashlight has a waterproof function, and the heavy one sinks directly to the bottom. "Fuck..."Zhang Hu couldn't help but exclaim, under the light of the flashlight, the originally gray river bottom was full of color, and the colorful jade sunk in the water came alive again.

I took a closer look, and the only thing missing black was the jade at the bottom of the river, and I realized that the black jade had a special meaning compared to the jade that was thrown here. "Could it be that this is the jade mine of the ancient Dian Kingdom, mainly digging up the black jade that has the mind to confuse people, and then transporting it away, and the rest will be poured directly into the river?" I thought, in this way, the ancient Dian Kingdom is really rich, and the black jade must be profitable and not lose money when it is auctioned on the market, which is enough to fill the treasury and help the Dian Kingdom's Xianwang Lao'er to complete this unparalleled heavenly palace.

"Alright, boy. Zhang Hu's voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around and smothered in my mouth. Just now, everyone was blinded by the light reflected by the jade in the water, and they were all in a trance for a while. Before the huge benefits, Zhang Hu's brain speed reached the peak of his life, and before we could react, he and another militiaman had already aimed their spears at the back of Liu Weixian and Kehui's heads.

"It's best if everyone gets rich together. Zhang Hu narrowed his eyes, "So please go down and get two pieces up, otherwise I don't mind blowing the heads of the two of them." "This man loved money, but he did not go to the point of dying. This underground water is surging, and ordinary people really don't have the courage to jump directly.

Liu Weixian and Kehui looked at me, as if asking if I would do it. I quickly thought about it, and now that the two of them are in a state of backs, the gun will not be long-sighted if it is done directly, and there is a certain risk. As for me, with the Trialist's physique, this flow of water should not pose too much risk to me, so it is better to follow their wishes first, and then find a flaw.

"You... You..."Wang Pearl is now alone, and after thinking for a while, she chooses the team, "Don't go down quickly!" She took out Hu Kun's Type 54 pistol and aimed it at me, the muzzle of the gun trembled slightly, if I didn't notice that she didn't open the insurance, I was really afraid that she would shoot me.

"Okay, wait. I handed the message to my teammates, "This is going to be here." ”
